Ye Sisi nodded. She could hear the concern in her senior brother's words, and she really liked the part about him saying that she would only be a junior sister of the Heavenly Spirit Sect afterward.

Looking at the tall and elegant Su Jiuli in front of her, Ye Sisi couldn't help but think that her senior brother should have passed the test of beauty. After what happened today, the female lead must have left a very bad impression on her senior brother. Moreover, with her face hanging in front of him all day long, she didn't believe that her senior brother could still fall in love with the female lead.

As long as the eldest brother doesn't fall in love with the female lead, he won't cut off his own sword heart for her sake, and he won't die such a pathetic death.

Indeed, in her eyes as a reader, Su Jiuli, the perfect male supporting character who had talent, good looks, and intelligence, was simply a late-stage love-struck fool who cut off his own sword heart for the female lead, and died a pathetic death.

Su Jiuli seemed to sense the little girl's gaze behind her, turned around and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Junior Sister?"

Ye Sisi smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing!"

Then he muttered softly, "You all have to live well!"

Although the voice was very soft, how could Su Jiuli, who was already at the Nascent Soul stage, not hear it? He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and a gentle smile flashed in his eyes.

"By the way, Senior Brother, where are we going next?"

"Don't worry, we agreed to travel for a month, and Senior Brother won't break his promise!"

Ye Sisi nodded, thinking to herself, "Even if you break your promise and really take me back to the Heavenly Spirit Sect, there's nothing I can do!"

However, the senior brother was still a man of his word, and after flying for a short while, he stopped at the edge of a vast mountain range.

"This is the Qingyun Mountain Range. Most of the disciples of the Qingyun Sect come here to train. Of course, there are also many rogue cultivators or mercenaries who come in to hunt monsters or gather spiritual herbs. You can play around on the outskirts for the next few days. Not only can you improve your combat skills, but you can also exchange the monsters you hunt and the spiritual herbs you gather for spirit stones!"

Ye Sisi was filled with excitement. She felt that as long as she didn't have to go back to the sect to face her devilish master, she was fine wherever she was. Her devilish master was just too terrifying, and her little heart couldn't bear it.

Su Jiuli deliberately landed in a less crowded spot, then smiled and said to Ye Sisi, "Alright, junior sister, you can play here for ten days. After ten days, there's a secret realm that opens only once every hundred years in the Thousand Mountains. Let's go and join the fun then!"

Ye Sisi nodded happily: "Okay, okay!"

She had only ever read about secret realms in novels, and experiencing them firsthand was indeed very tempting!

Su Jiuli reached out and patted her little head: "Then your senior brother will be leaving now, and will come to pick you up in ten days!"

Ye Sisi...

What is that?

She looked up in disbelief: "Senior Brother, what did you just say?"

Su Jiuli's bright, starry eyes were full of smiles: "It means exactly what Junior Sister understands. Senior Brother will come to pick you up again in ten days!"

Sure enough, there isn't a single reliable person in the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Get this straight, she's just a little cutie who just broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Is it really okay to leave her alone in a mountain range infested with monsters?

"Senior Brother, can't you stay and keep me company? There are so many demonic beasts and other cultivators here. What if your junior sister gets hurt by accident?"

Su Jiuli's smile widened even more: "Junior Sister, have you forgotten that you have a life-saving jade pendant and Master's sword talisman on you? Ordinary people can't hurt you!"

Ye Sisi thought about it and realized it was true. But none of those inanimate objects on her body felt as safe as having a Nascent Soul by her side!

Then her eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Senior Brother, please stay and keep me company! This is my first time going out to train, and I don't know anything! What if I get tricked by bad guys?"

"Junior Sister, be good!" After saying this, Su Jiuli's white-clad figure disappeared.

Ye Sisi looked helpless. As expected of a disciple taught by a devilish master, she truly has the demeanor of a devilish master.

She looked at the dense forest in front of her and listened to the occasional rustling sounds coming from the woods. She felt lost and confused about which way to go!

This is a mountain range where demonic beasts gather. As a mere Qi Refining cultivator, she dares not wander around recklessly. To be on the safe side, she should find a more reliable team to join. That way, with a cultivator familiar with the area leading the way, not only will her chances of survival be greater, but she won't be completely clueless.

After all, she had never seen a demon beast before, and she couldn't distinguish between many spiritual and poisonous herbs. What could she do when her master and senior brothers were unreliable, running away without teaching her anything? She was helpless!

She first climbed to the top of a tree, determined her direction, and then darted towards the outermost edge of the Qingyun Mountains.

While it's necessary to find a team to stay with temporarily, one shouldn't be too reckless, lest they end up joining a ruthless and heartless team.

Before long, she encountered a group of three men and two women. This group was not wearing the robes of the Qingyun Sect, but rather the robes commonly seen on the market. The group was slightly taken aback when they saw her, and then their eyes were filled with strong wariness.

Ye Sisi looked at the faces of the group. Two of the young men looked fierce and were not to be trifled with. The other one was expressionless and seemed very cold. One of the women was pretty and charming, while the other had a long scar on her face. No matter how you looked at it, this group of people didn't seem easy to get along with.

She hesitated for a moment but decided to take a look at other teams; this group was too imposing.

So she nodded slightly to the group and was about to walk past them when she was stopped by the pretty woman!

"Why is this young fellow Daoist alone?"

Ye Sisi frowned slightly, looking conflicted, and then said shyly, "Sister, can I not tell you?"

The pretty woman was clearly surprised by this answer. After a slight pause, she chuckled and said, "Of course! Young friend, would you be interested in joining our team?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the woman with the scar on her face coldly called out, "Lin Miaomiao!"

Judging from her tone, she was clearly very dissatisfied with her hiring people without permission. Moreover, this little girl was so young, what could she do with her sixth level of Qi Refining cultivation? She still had to take care of her.

Ye Sisi initially wanted to refuse to join the group, but the people in front of her seemed quite interesting, so she decided to put on an act: "Sister, can I really join you?"

Her voice carried a hint of anticipation and joy, and her large, dark green eyes even seemed to hold a hint of moisture. She looked like a harmless little white rabbit.

One of the young men, who hadn't spoken until now, sighed: "Sigh, let her come along. It's dangerous for a young girl to be in there!"

Ye Sisi immediately perked up: "Really?"

Apart from the scarred female cultivator who glared at her, everyone else nodded slightly. The pretty woman named Lin Miaomiao even introduced the people in the group to her with great enthusiasm.
